Monroe's Restaurant

Hadn't ever had a chance to eat here. We tried just stopping in on a Friday or Saturday a few times. Well that's a mistake. Most of the time they said they couldn't seat us till 830 and here it was 530 and plenty of seats open. So we finally made a reservation and went on a Saturday night. Got there 7 minutes early and was told we would have to wait 7 minutes, even though once again there were seats available and the seat we ended up in was open the whole time. Maybe they do this so they can handle cooking the food and have waitresses available ? Idk but they could have at least let us sit there and order drinks until the 7 minutes was up. Anyways food was great, though a little expensive . Which I think is the idea, as it felt a little stuffy in there, if you know what I mean. I would recommend a reservation and proper attire. Though there were a couple people dressed like they were going to Burger King lol

We always love the food at Monroe's but last night their customer service really cemented this as our favorite restaurant. We had a small hiccup with my meal, and they were so attentive. They offered to remake the dish, took it off our bill without us asking, AND offered us a free dessert for the trouble. We were blown away by how responsive they were- I can't remember the last time we felt so well treated by a restaurant. Go here soon!

We were guests to a private anniversary party. I didn't know this place is the old Spring House. I am 67 years old, and his place has had a restaurant at least that long. It has been modernized and has fun looking nooks so people feel private although the space is huge. We visited on a warm fall night and the outside spaces where very inviting. Our buffet food was nothing remarkable, but on a special occasion I would be tempted to spend $$$ on their enticing menu. Definitely a popular place with young professionals.

Food is terrific and abundant. Our waitress and the front end staff were great and attentive. The place was a little loud for our liking as we were celebrating our anniversary. We were originally seated very near the bar which was really loud. Fortunately our waitress worked with the hostess to reseat us in a quieter corner.

This was our first time eating at Monroe’s, our daughter picked your restaurant for her birthday dinner and we all couldn’t be more pleased with everything. The server was pleasant and professional, our food came in a timely manner and was delicious! Look at the size of the lobster in the Mac and Cheese, all the portions were like this. We will return soon to enjoy the atmosphere and food, we will definitely recommend Monroe’s to our friends and family. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

If you asked what restaurant is my favorite in Rochester.. I'd excitedly tell you, Monroe's! I love date nights here. It's beautiful inside and outside. The atmosphere and staff are always pleasant. I love the fact that every night has different specials and desserts. During the winter, you can eat outside in a little heated igloo!!! I still have so many more plates to try and can't wait for my next visit.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was incredible, but there were a few things that did let this place down. The serving size is huge here; don't expect to finish your whole meal. That being said, since the portions are very big, the price for said portions makes sense. The dishes themselves are really tasty and very unique. The only dish my table did not like was the beef ragu. It was too sweet for our tastes. The desserts, the appetizer, and our other entrees, though, were superb. All in all, I would definitely come back again if I wanted to celebrate at a peaceful and delicious restaurant.
